When I use sqlstringconnect() or modify connection (and modify and existing connection based on a dsn) and try to use this connection string, it brings up the "select data source" prompt. It works find if I use a dsn, but I'm told there is a performance advantage in using SQLOLEDB as opposed to ODBC based dsn. Does the connection string have to be based on an ODBC dsn in VFP? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried adding the blank password to the connection string? Try adding "Password=;" and see if that helps.
